A really interesting moment to pick--I think a lot of us get swept up in Teal'c's revenge thing about Tanith and forget Hebron, and it makes sense that Jacob would remember and be troubled.

Thanks! I had a long list of H words/names that I considered using for my soup entry, but the Hebron idea kept elbowing its way to my attention, so I went with it. I'm so glad it worked.

Oh, excellent. Jacob considering what it would be like if he had been betrayed, and the frustration they both feel. Yes. Very good.

Also, I am oddly charmed at the mental image of Jacob caressing Selmac in the back of his neck, and Selmac responding. :)

[amaranthtraces]

I was rubbing my neck myself after one particularly stressful day at work and I said to myself, "Self," I said, "What we need is a symbiote to massage and commiserate with."

Or, y'know, something like that. ;)

I'm very happy you liked my contribution to your soup. Thank you for your lovely comment :)

Very insightful! The attitude of the Tok'ra toward using Hebron this was very callous, and I can see it angering Jacob greatly. A very interesting thing to explore, along with Selmak's reaction to his anger.

I was worried about trying to attempt "insightful" with so many absoultely fabulous authors participating in Fig's soups. Thanks so much for your comment - it eased some of my worry :)

Oh, I like this very much. I had wondered if the Tok'ra acted against Tanith knowing that there were condemning Hebron to a life of, well, torture. Nicely filled in for us. Love the anger from Jacob and the reasoning from Selmac.

Thanks so much! One of my favourite things to do in fanfiction is explaining things that were never addressed in the show, while at the same time not actually contradicting canon.

Which makes for the best type of story of them all :)

[amaranthtraces]

Aww... Thanks!

I'm with Jacob here; what they did to the host was unconscionable! I have to agree with lokei'; I'd totally forgotten about him by the time we next saw Tanith.

[amaranthtraces]

It seems the writers also forgot about poor Hebron. No one so much as shed a tear for him when Tanith was killed.

Thanks for the feedback!
